Lord Brocktree

Lord Brocktree is an epic fantasy adventure, chronologically the earliest story in Brian Jacques' beloved Redwall series. It follows the valiant badger Lord Brocktree and the irrepressible haremaid Dotti as they embark on a perilous journey to reclaim Salamandastron, the badger mountain fortress, from the ruthless wildcat Ungatt Trunn. Parents should be aware that, like many Redwall books, this story features intense battles, significant peril, and the deaths of both heroic and villainous characters. It's a tale of courage, loyalty, and perseverance against overwhelming odds, perfect for children aged 8-11 to read independently or for younger listeners (4-7) as a read-aloud.

Salamandastron, ancestral home of the Badger Lords, is under threat from an enemy whose power would seem to be absolute and whose evil knows no bounds. Ungatt Trunn can make the stars fall from the sky, the very earth shake underfoot, and with a horde of vermin as numerous as the leaves in autumn, the wildcat appears unstoppable. The mountain's defences are weak. Lord Brocktree and Dotti the irrepressible haremaid journey to Salamandastron, gathering a host of brave creatures to fight alongside them in the ultimate struggle!
